Once you have your fill of water and sand, walk into town and discover a network of narrow streets lined with restaurants and bars that serve signature cocktails and seafood specialties.

Absolutely stunning beach. Very clean. Lots of shells for kids to collect. Some lovely bars and restaurants along the front. We loved it there.

This is a lovely expanse of beautiful soft sand flanked by rocks. There are a range of restaurants/cafes overlooking the beach for a drink/meal.
